To me it sounds like the issue you faced was one of maintaining someone else's nightmarish code, not necessarily one caused by a framework. I still don't see how the absence of a framework would have made it any easier to deal with this contractor's work. In my (very) limited experience I would wager that if they'd been left to implement all functionality themselves they would have left you much worse off.
- fsk 12y agoI've seen frameworks degenerate into a mess both for outsourcing firm projects, and projects developed internally. You might say "They were using the framework incorrectly!", but if it's too easy to use a framework incorrectly, then I don't see the value it provides. Without a framework, it's much easier to trace the control flow. If the code is in 2-5 files that are explicitly included, that's a lot easier to understand than when files get magically included from all over the place.
